STONE-FACED RATH in Aughnaloopy

STONE-FACED RATH

What is recorded here

Aughnaloopy holds a stone-faced rath from the E.CHRIST.. period, marked only by its name and a single map point in County Down. The stones may have faced outward like a warning or inward like a chamber, shaping the lives of anyone who lived beside them. That much is record; the rest is imagination, but the place still carries the weight of being seen and named.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE-FACED RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
